PERU?? 4790.02 R. Vision (pres.) Back on apparently. First hrd carrier 2

Fairly strong but horribly distorted 'rumbling' audio. Looked like there were
multiple carriers on the signal. Could see at least 5 distinct peaks. Also
noticed most of the distortion was in the lower side. In USB with the PSB shifted
away from the carrier, it was almost readable. (9 Sept.)
